S04E16 - Vincent van Gogh


Listen Later

How could Vincent have been a creative genius - yet also "insane?" Jeb and Blake take a look at Nimoy's very personal thoughts about this question.

This episode deals with the topic of self-harm and suicide. If you're struggling with thoughts of self harm, please get help immediately.  You can reach trained and empathetic counselors (in the USA) by dialing 988 or 1-800-273-TALK. 

We care about our listeners and want you to be around for many years to enjoy life - and our work.
